OWNING IT ALL IN ORDER TO HEAL

 

First of all I am an adult child of alcoholics. My husband and I never had alcoholic beverages in our home because of our childhoods. When my youngest son became an alcoholic I was beyond upset, I was reliving a lot of trauma I thought I had worked through. 

He was in and out of rehabs and I decided to focus on my husband and myself. Last July he had been clean for about 2 months. I was happy for him, he had found a wonderful church with activities that supported addicts . He developed a seizure disorder and took medication but was still having them. 

On July 16th he had a grand Mal seizure and it stopped his heart. He didn't make it. I knew I had done everything I could to make him safe and had stopped enabling him. He was only 30 years old. 

I think about all the times he struggled to be his best self and now I know he is safe in heaven and one day we will be reunited. I am grateful for all the people who prayed with me and got me through really hard times. I worked my own plan of recovery and it has sustained me during this time. 

There once was a wonderful person who laughed and could always make me smile and he will forever be loved and missed. 

Mary
